The Penguins try to get back in their Stanley Cup playoff series against the Islanders today with a noontime game at PPG Paints Arena. The Islanders lead the series, 2-0.
Coach Mike Sullivan had Dominick Simon skating on the top line with Sidney Crosby and Jake Guentzel at practice yesterday. Bryan Rust skated on the third line with Nick Bjugstad and Patric Hornqvist. Injured winger Jared McCann was a full participant in a twenty-minute practice, skating on a line with Evgeni Malkin and Zach Aston-Reese. Aston-Reese has been part of the fourth line so far in the series and either he or McCann will likely skate there today, if McCann is in the lineup.
